Share
- Handmade
- Vegan
- 100% Natural
Smells like
Impossibly bright, juicy, and fresh, as though you've just peeled a lemon. Light, subtle, floral notes, with a somewhat dry, balsamic finish.
Feels like
Alertness, pep. A happy, quenching lightness.
How you wear it
Apply the body oil all over for a lightly moisturizing base fragrance layer.
Roll the oil based perfume onto your pulse points. Do the same with the solid.
Mist the spray onto your skin, in your hair, or lightly over your clothing.
Apply it over a heavier layering fragrance.
Boost your signature fragrance by choosing a matching or complementary scented body powder, dry shampoo, or wave spray.
Layer it with
Nectar, Rose, Cream, Lavender, Sandalwood, Tea, Cedar, Orange Blossom, Cut Grass, or your favorite Twinkle layering fragrance.
Grapefruit, lavender, chamomile, geranium, ylang ylang, atlas cedar, or your favorite Essential Oil Roller.
Similar fragrances to try
Orange Blossom Water or Pompette from the Perfume Archives.
Strength and wear time
Light top note. Lasts approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour on the skin.
The body oil is a much lighter dilution than the perfume and will have a lighter strength and wear time.

About Twinkle Apothecary
Lo-Fi Beauty for Modern Humans
Lo-fi (fidelity) is a production quality in which elements usually regarded as imperfections are present, sometimes as a deliberate choice.
Welcome,
To my world of plant-based, slow beauty. Twinkle Apothecary is a one-person, artisan craft business, founded in 2015, and owned and operated by me, Stefanie.
I create 100% botanical-based fragrances for all genders, with minimal, low-waste, vegan skincare and makeup to minimize your routine.
These are old-school, stripped down, pared-back products, that are as close to nature as it gets. Made by hand with no fillers, no preservatives, and nothing cutting edge.
I don’t believe in miracle products. I do believe that sticking to a consistent routine which nourishes and supports your skin’s natural ability to balance and heal itself can produce results that feel like a miracle in a world that’s constantly trying to convince you to buy the next new thing.
My goal is to make personal care simple, sustainable, and joyful, so that you can live your life free from the labor of trying to achieve unattainable beauty standards.
Twinkle Apothecary is a minimalist brand. I'm always looking for the simplest way to do things, not only in my formulations, but also in my business operations and my approach to packaging and design. To me, it's what's inside the bottles that really counts - that's why each product has a simple label with a QR code, which you can scan to see the full product details and instructions. I offer just a handful of skincare products, which can be customized to meet your specific needs. I truly believe that less is more.
And if you'd like to take a break from beauty routines to explore your connection to the beauty of the earth through natural fragrances, you're in the right place. (Perfumery is my passion!)
I hope you enjoy your time exploring my handmade creations. Thanks for stopping by!

Tried the sample now ordered! I think this is my new fav but I like several others ALOT - perfect summer vibes!
You know, I thought the same thing when I put this on the other day. It is so refreshing, especially in the heat! Thanks so much for sharing your review!

Be sure to check the product pages on the afternoon of the 14th to see what's in the next month's box, especially if you are not subscribed to my email list or push notifications!
You will always be charged for the next month's box each month on the same day (and exact time) that you placed your original order. If you would like to cancel or skip a month, you'll need to do so before your charge date.

Split-shipment policy: If you are ordering other, non-subscription items at the same time as your subscription box (Off the Menu, Surprise Scent, Collect Them All Club,) and you would like to receive your non-subscription items before the 15th, please place a separate order. I can only double-ship your order if the other items in your order qualify for free shipping on their own. If you've ordered enough to qualify for free shipping but want me to hold the other items to ship at the same time as your subscription products, great! Feel free to leave a note with your order and let me know!

Let customers speak for us
from 1414 reviewsLove the cleanser. My skin feels great and looks great. It’s really helped clear up any underlying clogged pores. Will definitely continue to use and order.
I absolutely LOVE this scent! It feels effortless, unique, woodsy but warm…if only my perfume bottles were bottomless! 😉
Just like a cool fall day! Lots of light layered notes all wrapped up in a warm, earthy base. I really enjoy this one!
I have sensitive, reactive skin so I get the oil without any added essential oils. It’s gentle, moisturizing, and makes my skin very happy!
I absolutely love this shampoo, and it's a great value, one bottle lasts months (for short/pixie hair!)
This smells really good! I’m not a perfume person but maybe I am now? Perhaps I just wasn’t wearing the right perfumes? This smells like warmth and fall and kinda like a cozy winter night. It’s not too strong and doesn’t overpower me/others. Lasts the perfect amount of time.
I have these in sandstone and mother of pearl and they work really well on me. They're sheer and very natural looking; I prefer the tubes since for me they are easier to use . I look forward to trying more colors
It really does work! I’ve been using it more lately postpartum (thanks hormones) and I can tell a difference in the morning if I use this right before bed. I’m not a fan on the fragrance BUT that’s the tea tree oil I assume and it’s doing its job so I’ll absolutely take the good with the bad.
Twinkle’s skincare has been consistently outstanding for years. I just recently purchased the starter skincare set - getting back to the basics of taking care of my skin. My pores were clogged, my skin was dry/flaking and my acne was getting worse, so when I went back through what has worked for me in the past I knew Twinkle’s skincare was the answer. I have used every product in this set for a month day and night, and my skin has drastically improved. I’ve felt more confident too! The smell of the rejuvenating toner has and always will be one of my favorites. The cleanser leaves my skin feeling clean but not dry. The facial oil is a legitimate must have of any skincare routine and I can’t believe more people don’t know about the benefits. The butter is soft and ultra lightweight .My skin is moisturized and happy! Acne is cleared, dryness is gone. Start here, you will be so happy with the results,
I’ve been using the rose hydrosol twice a day for months and love how refreshed it makes my skin feel. My husband uses the lavender hydrosol with the acne blend.
This is my favorite product on the site and that's saying something. I tried many body butters and none come close to this. It truly moisturizes and it doesn't take much to do so. I used it everywhere and the sample lasted for me. I look forward to ordering a larger size when I place my next order.
I feel so fancy using this under my eyes! Smells nice and keeps eyes bright. I also put it in my lashes!
Moody, earthy. Perfect for a night out.
I tried the balancing blend shampoo and conditioner yesterday on my long, fine hair, & it feels softer than normal. I wasn't expecting that but I like it!!
The only thing I’ll ever wash my face with for the rest of my life !!
